Mandate businesses to accept card payment with non-compliance a criminal offence

Background

Make it mandatory for businesses to offer card payment facilities as well as cash. We think this will improve consumer choice. Especially barber shops and take-aways. We believe that when money is traceable it will cut down on illegal activity.

Additional details

Make having a card machine a mandatory requirement. Not offering a card payment option should be a criminal offence punishable by a prison sentence and huge fine.
